This young man has produced some amazing videos. I am constantly impressed with his mastery of effects, timing and the ability to tell a story.
I shot about 25 minutes of footage today using my Phantom and finished up with an edit lasting just one minute and ten seconds including opening titles. That was enough, I told my story while keeping it short and sweet. I sympathize with @Sureshot though. Sometimes you have some very good footage that can be hard to drop onto the cutting room floor.I ran out of popcorn after a few minutes.
I hear that. More cutting ahead. Maybe i'll start with short music and fit to that...I shot about 25 minutes of footage today using my Phantom and finished up with an edit lasting just one minute and ten seconds including opening titles.

Nice video @Sureshot but try to aim for a shorter video if you can. I know it can be hard to cut out you beloved footage but audiences these days tend to click away from a longer drone video.
Whatever will work for you is good. What I do is make my edit then find a bit of music whose length fits with the video. Some people do it the other way round like you are suggesting but go the extra mile by doing the cuts in time with the music. Now those vids are good but that takes some talent to get right.I hear that. More cutting ahead. Maybe i'll start with short music and fit to that...
